The Cellpro 10s PC Charge Control Software (CCS) installs from the FMA website using one of the following methods.

Please note, for best results, the Charge Control Software requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher. The FMA software requires Microsoft .NET 2.0 in order to install, launch and run semi-automatic updates. If you run Windows Vista x64 bit, you will be required to upgrade your existing Microsoft .NET 3.0 software install (included with Windows Vista) to Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1. You may install this required update through Windows Update utility or by going to the Microsoft Download Center.

IMPORTANT: If you use a dial up connection and you use a dial up accelerator, disable it before proceeding. After installation, you may also need to disable it any time you launch the Cellpro 10s Charge Control Software in order to receive updates without problems.

This is the preferred method of installation. This procedure requires that you have Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and that it is set up as your default web browser for Windows.

1. Start > Control Panel

2. In the Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs

4. Open the Custom panel (if required)

5. Under Choose a default Web browser, click Internet Explorer

6. Click OK

7. Close the Add or Remove Programs dialog and the Control Panel dialog

8. To install the FMA software using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher set to your default browser, click:

Install Cellpro 10s Charge Control Software

The above link to the install program will first check your computer for .NET 2.0. If it is not already present, it will automatically install .NET from the Microsoft website. After .NET is installed, the FMA software will install and launch.

9. Once the Charge Control Software launches, connect the PC interface to the PC's USB port, but do not connect it to the charger yet. Click on the link in the bottom left corner of the main program window titled "Download USB Driver". Follow the on-screen instructions to install the correct driver for your Windows operating system. The O.S. should be selected automatically. Now connect the other end of the PC interface to the charger. With the Comm port set to "Auto", after less than 1 minute, the text "Waiting to Start" should appear at the top of the CCS program window. If the message indicates "No Data from Charger", check your connections and make sure the charger has power applied.
